Summer time here, kitties And it's time to take a trip To take a trip If you feel so bad, if you feel so sad You gotta take a trip into a world so glass A world of frost and clean fountains And flying dolls and surfing cakes And there's no rats and purple clouds Our faces as clown and wall of glass that never pass And pick his head upside-down Would I ask, where you, is another world? You and your girl, and all your friends All be there, oh yeah, let's take a trip TNT, S.O.S, HOB, TOP Here we go now , let's climb some mountains, everybody Get all your walking shoes It's time to climb some mountains, here we go Let's take a trip , it's time to dream , just close your eyes Is grooving now, yeah, it's all around, let's take a trip I felt in the ground, ooh yeah , let's take a trip It's really here, no one will know what's going on Just you and me and the dreams that we see, oh, c'mon baby You doing right, just put your head back
